UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust plans to procure an NHS central tenant discovery and pre-migration alignment support solution. The requirement is for software and information systems to support discovery and preparation before migration. The Trust serves patients through Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, Birmingham Chest Clinic, Good Hope Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Solihull Hospital, community services and smaller satellite units. The work relates to the Trust’s multi-site NHS environment, which supports more than 2.2 million patients a year and over 20,000 staff. Suppliers working on tenant discovery, migration preparation or supporting software solutions may find the requirement relevant.

The process is at planning stage: the Trust has set out its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It is conducting preliminary market engagement and invited interested suppliers to complete an online questionnaire by 13:00 on 2 November 2026. The buyer expects a further notice on 14 December 2026; this is an indicative date, not a bid deadline. The planned contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with a possible extension to 31 December 2031. The requirement is arranged as one lot, with small and medium-sized enterprises considered suitable. No estimated procurement value is stated.

This requirement is most relevant to suppliers able to provide central tenant discovery and pre-migration alignment support for an NHS organisation operating across hospitals, community services and satellite sites. The Trust is seeking proposals at the market-engagement stage, so suppliers with a solution in this area can help inform the requirement by taking part in the questionnaire. The stated SME suitability makes the work potentially accessible to smaller suppliers as well as larger providers. The planned multi-year service and Trust-wide setting may suit businesses able to support a complex, multi-site environment. No specific accreditations, technical standards or prior experience requirements are stated.
